OXM: The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Preview

Sure, Lord of the Rings has a great, amazing story, but it also has some of the most epic battles ever put to film, and EA's return to Middleearth reflects that. Pandemic, the studio behind Star Wars: Battlefront, is taking its popular style of battlefield mayhem to the land of orcs and oliphants, and an early demo made OXM feel like hobbit kids watching Gandalf's fireworks. Multiplayer is where it's at in games like these, and Conquest brings 16-player action to Xbox Live, along with four-player co-op in all modes and four-player split-screen, too.
